Two months ago, Davon Lymon claimed he was being tortured by corrections officers. But federal officials say it's Lymon who's breaking the rules.

Lymon is accused of killing Albuquerque police Officer Daniel Webster in October. Investigators say Lymon shot Webster after he pulled him over for driving a stolen motorcycle.

Lymon has been in federal custody ever since because, as a convicted felon, he was not supposed to have a gun. He spent about a month behind bars before claiming corrections officers were torturing him.

Action 7 News first reported in November that Lymon's attorney wanted him transferred out of jail and into a halfway house. Lymon's claim was that guards were feeding him foods they knew he was allergic to.

A judge has denied that request after the U.S. Attorney's Office says lab results confirmed Lymon is not allergic to either turkey or fish. As it turns out, the U.S. Attorney's Office says Lymon has been a less than stellar inmate.

Court documents show that while in custody, Lymon has had at least two run-ins with corrections officers -- one for defecating in the recreation yard, and another for trying to smuggle in contraband inside his cast. Officers say it was fishing line and a toothpaste cap filled with an unknown substance.

Lymon will now remain at the State Penitentiary until his trial, which is scheduled for later this year.
